Sullivan has been hit by a pitch 11 times this season, ranking second most in the Sun Belt Conference. Sullivan, in total, has been hit by a pitch 10 times in his career, which already ranks second in Troy Baseball history.
Only two teams this season have turned more double plays than the Trojans, as Troy ranks third in the country, turning a total of 25 and averaging 1.19 per game also third in the country.
Brady Fuller will get his usual Friday start as he looks to bounce back after taking a loss in his last outing.

Grayson Stewart will go for his fourth win of the season Saturday with Sunday's starter TBA.
